The choir is mainly composed of retired teachers, corporate executives, and civil servants, with one-third of them being veterans. These elderly people hope to have a richer cultural life beyond their busy lives, and to uplift their spirits with singing. After the establishment of the choir, it received strong support from the street, community, and Zhangjiang Town Cultural Activity Center.
